Duplicat contents on wordpress
-
I ran a crawl error and found that I have many pages with "tag"
i.e. http://www.soobumimphotography.com/tag/70-200-2-8-is/
What's the best way to deal with this problems?
Is it worth to visit all of them and fix? Delete?
Could you give me some suggestions?

Hi,
I had the same issue. After setting up SEO MOZ, fixing about 400 problems, on the next crawl (after installing wordpress and transfering all our old news items across for our blog) we had about 1,000 problems with duplicate pages (most blog pages were duplicated 50 times!!!.I've installed Yoast, had a quick go through (looks good), I think I've got it sorted
I'll check again after the next crawl and see if it works and report back.
It's interesting how this question is also asked in the Wordpress forums with no responses or silly comments about SEOMOZ being rubbish and not understanding how Wordpress works (or what not).

Thank you Streamline and Roque for answering!
In most standard cases, noindexing tags is what I advise. You can refer to two documents;

My post about safely de-indexing tags in WordPress

You likely have two because of the theme you're using. Noindex both tag sections.
-
Looks like there's two tags section
Should I noindex both of them?
Now sure why they have two tags and two categories.
Thanks again

Hi again! Nope. You need to browse to the titles and metas section, then taxonomies. You will find the option there, and mark no index follow. Volia!!
-
Yoast plugin is already installed.
So should I go to each of the pages and no follow?
-
The wordpress SEO by yoast has a feature to no index/ no follow (or both) tag pages.
Install the plugin and just mark those pages with a no index tag.
Ill add a screen capture but doing some search you will find lots of advanced tutorials to go deep with the plugin. Is worth to spend some time with because its really good!
Good luck!

I would suggest installing WordPress SEO by Yoast. It allows you to choose which pages you want to index. I usually index Categories and block Tags, but you can try one or the other.

Writing cornerstone content for a shop (eCommerce) website
Hi there I am trying to optimise my site to the best that it can be. Since the most recent Google updates, everything that I reading is saying cornerstone content with lots of valuable content is a really good strategy as it tells Google what is the most important content on your site. Writing articles that are well structured and have give the user a detailed overview of that subject. Lots of top SEO's are saying 3000 words plus on these pages. My question is, how do I go about this with and eCommerce site? Obviously that majority of the keywords that I want to target are product related and these are the pages that I want to come up in the search. How do I go about creating cornerstone content for these pages? I am thinking that one of my cornerstone pieces of content would be "The Ultimate Guide to [my main product category]". But that product has numerous products related to it, all of which have their own keywords, so how would this help the products to rank? The site had two main product categories, with numerous products under each of those categories. The two main categories are targeting my best performing keywords, but currently the landing page for these is the main product category pages. I am really struggling to work out the best strategy here. The content that I have on my actual products pages is comprehensive and covers a lot of detail about that particular product and has started to rank for product keywords, but I am guessing Google wouldn't consider that to be cornerstone content. I hope this make sense. Any advice anyone can give would be really useful. Many thanks in advance

How Does Google Webmaster Tools Come Up with Content Keywords?
When I look at Google Webmaster Tools, in the Content Keywords report there are a couple of ones that are suspect - "prescription", "medications", and "viagra" which are completely unrelated to the content of the site. When I click on the content keyword, and search the source code for those pages, I don't see those words in the source code. Can someone please help me figure out why Google thinks that these keywords are associated with these pages, and how to correct it?

Duplicate content on partner site
I have a trade partner who will be using some of our content on their site. What's the best way to prevent any duplicate content issues? Their plan is to attribute the content to us using rel=author tagging. Would this be sufficient or should I request that they do something else too? Thanks

Wordpress & trailing slash on domain name
Hi recently changed my site so it is based on Wordpress, got my preferred domain set in Google webmaster as www.domian.co.uk but since moving to wordpress my domain is now having a slash put on the end of it like www.domain.co.uk/ Most of the links going to my homepage do not have the slash on the end so am I right in thinking I should get rid of the slash from my site so I have one consistent url? If so any ideas how to banish the slash? Cannot seem to do it through the Wordpress general settings (despite preferred domain being set as www.domain.co.uk !) Thanks T

Problem with Plugin: Wordpress SEO by Yoast
Hi Hi, I'm using the Plugin "Wordpress SEO by Yoast". Unfortunatelly, this plugin generates a sourcecode looking like this: name='description' content='XXXXXX.'/> Seomoz can't read this and tells me, that my pages have no description. Google doesn't matter and reads it correct. Is there anything I can do about this? Many greetings André

Duplicate content on area specific sites
I have created some websites for my company Dor-2-Dor and there is a main website where all of the information across the board is on (www.dor2dor.com) but I also have area specific sites which are for our franchisees who run certain areas around the country (www.swansea.dor2dor.com or www.oxford.dor2dor.com) The problem is that the content that is on a lot of the pages is the same on all of them for instance our faq's page, special offers etc. What is the best way to get these pages to rank well and not have the duplicate content issues and be ranked down by search engines? Any help will be greatly received.

Duplicate Product BUT Unique Content -- any issues?
We have the situation where a group of products fit into 2 different categories and also serve different purposes (to the customer). Essentially, we want to have the same product duplicated on the site, but with unique content and it would even have a slightly different product name. Some specifications would be redundant, but the core content would be different. Any issues?
